We're dividing 988209 by 26 
We want to figure out the number of times 988209 can be divided by 26.

On to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 26

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 26, we get 3 with a remainder of 20.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 78 from 98 and we're left with 20.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 208 / 26

Going ahead to step 3:
26 goes into 208 8 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtracting 208 from 208 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 2 / 26

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 2 by 26, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 380.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 26

Advancing to step 5:
20 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3800.0
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 209 / 26

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 209 by 26, we get 8 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38008.0
Subtract 208 from 209 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 26, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38008.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
100 divided by 26 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38008.03
Subtract 78 from 100 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
26 goes into 220 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38008.038
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 208 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
26 goes into 120 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38008.0384
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 104 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
26 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38008.03846
Deduct 156 from 160 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 26 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38008.038461
If we take 26 away from 40, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 13:
26 goes into 140 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38008.0384615
Subtracting 130 from 140 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
26 can be fit into 100 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38008.03846153
Subtracting 78 from 100 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The final result is 38008.03846153 with a remainder of 2.2e-08.
